I am not blond. I've never even played one on TV. But "blonde," the iconic airhead signifier, has power that extends far beyond the simple "bombshell" or "bimbo" addition. Now there's a new category, blonde blogger, to add to the list.
For example, Pissed_Off_Patricia at BlondeSense informs us that our sandwiches are safe tonight, now that HomeLand Security is keeping a watch on 57-year-old grandmother Cecilia Beaman for the dread crime of misplacing a bread-knife in her luggage.
And Daisymaie of The Blonde Moment ("Redefining the art of being misunderstood") assures us that she is "not a crack-whore, honest!" It seems Daisymaie had a close encounter of a hostile kind with the local cops. She freaks out, "I can't go to jail, I'm too cute for jail. I'd be someone's bitch in no time. "
Joe and Erika, TheWB.com.Blonde Justice has a simple motto, "What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?" She reviews the same WB show, Beauty and the Geek, as I did, but with a uniquely blonde perspective.
The guys are not so attractive, but have occupations like "Neuro-something-or-other" and "Boy Scout leader" and "Mensa member." Wait, mensa member is an occupation? Oh, and another guy's occupation was "President, Dukes of Hazard fan club." Whatever, you know these guys live in their moms' basements and play dungeons & dragons all day.
Hunter's list of Funny Blonde Jokes asks the time-honored question, "Why Did Bush Want to Send Blondes with PMS to Iraq?" (For any blonde readers, here's a hint: click the link to read the answer.)
Blonde ALa, blogger of Blonde Sagacity, is also musing on Iraq. "Do you think Allah’s henchmen... had a Chaplain or Rabbi handle a Bible for Nick Berg? Was his body handled in a way that adheres with the tenets of the Jewish faith?" Hmmm. Perhaps ALa was channeling Ann Coulter, who is certainly blonde enough to qualify for any of the epithets above; Coulter is well aware of the danger of provoking "brainy" liberals to throw food.

Does it look to you as if Eminem is sprouting a bust to go with his "blonde" anger?

Dr. Pat found the good stuff. I had a lot of fun with some blondes in my youth. But pissed_off_Patricia at BlondeSense did the best story of the schoolteacher accused of terrorism for the knife she used for making her 35 kids' lunch. Common sense, America!
Carnival Lines has been great to us since we travel by ship regularly. But this time, on boarding, a rentacop woman (not even close to blonde) insisted on feeling up my wife's partially amputated leg while she was in a wheelchair. Patricia refused. They threatened us for at least an hour before I got an intelligent superior to come up with the idea that they could just run a magnetic wand over the leg. Did they think she had it partly cut off to hide bombs? The guys in real uniforms seemed like angels. Perhaps if the rentacop had been an intelligent blonde...?

What do you call a blonde who dyes her hair black?
Artificial intelligence...
HAW HAW!

I must say, I am a vain and easily bored female and I have dyed my hair every color under the rainbow at some point or another. And the color I feel most comfortable in and feel the most attractive with is blonde. I always go back to blonde.
And I have a state-administered intelligence quotient test that says my IQ is 150. So there.

I was blonde as a child and never got over my hair turning mousy brown at about fourteen. It was all downhill from that point. Not that I blame my parents' divorce on my hair, butI can't deny that it happened right about then. Do blondes have more fun? You bet they do!

It's like the myth of being left-handed as something special, which I tried to hold onto for the longest time (more artistic etc etc - until I looked at all the good and bad variety of people who are left handed.
I'm blond and left-handed. SwingingPuss and Aaman and The Duke seem to have the most fun here and none of them are blond or blonde.

"SwingingPuss and Aaman and The Duke seem to have the most fun" Blog threesomes?
Lefties are better lovers, BTW.

well yeah ... but lefties are also very humble and I didn't want to say anything.
:-)

I thought it was "Lefties Do It from the Other Side..."
12 - SFC SKI
"Lefties do it in an offhand manner", perhaps?

Always knew "southpaw" had more than one meaning.

Left-handed people have shorter life expectancies. Or so I heard...

We had a guy at school who we called "ambidextrous" because he could use either hand in his lovin'. Pity he could never get a partner...

Blonde is a state of mind... but based on the first two items in the scan, it must be a police state!

Thanks for the plug, although I don't think my preference for blondes has anything to do with classical mythology or ancient Rome. LOL. Anyhow, very interesting article. (-:

Why do brunettes tell BLONDE jokes?
...They have nothing better to do on Saturday nights!!!
;)
Thanks for the link Dr. Pat. I am a bit more 'South Park' than Coulter, but I'll still take that as a compliment:)

Would it be wrong to point out I once wrote a story about a blonde getting revenge on a brunette for one too many blonde jokes?
20 - DrPat
I have to say, this blogscan was more fun than most - maybe blonde bloggers don't always have more fun, but blonde-blog scanners sure do!
21 - DrPat
Any chance your story is online, Nicolette?
22 - Nicolette Rivers
LOL, perhaps, but it's naughty and not edited up to my current standards. (Such as they are!)
In short, if you ever find the story, I won't deny it, but neither am I rushing to claim it. :)

Yep. Ann Coulters blond. Guess that is why she says some of the dumbest things!

Brunette skanks like Parisite Hilton and Spamela Anderson are not Blonde. They are just Brunettes with six bucks worth of bleach on their desperate heads. Let's out these Brunettes. Always, always, always, call them Bleached Brunettes. That's all they are. Pass it on. Tell Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes.

Most serial killers are left-handed.
